Khaberni - Vladimir Sychev, a senior researcher and head of the space biology research department at the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, says that humans will never land on Venus.
He states: "The conditions on Venus are so harsh that it is unlikely humanity will be able to send a manned mission there".
He adds: "The temperature on the surface of the planet reaches 400 degrees Celsius, while the temperature in its atmosphere at an altitude of 60 kilometers ranges between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius".
The scientist points out that he had previously announced the discovery of compounds in the atmosphere of Venus, which might indicate the presence of life there. However, this assumption is controversial.
It is worth noting that Haskell White-Jania, a doctoral student at the University of Washington, had proven the impossibility of life on desert planets. According to him, a planet the size of Earth needs at least 20-50 percent of Earth's ocean waters to maintain the geological carbon cycle, a natural mechanism essential for regulating the surface temperature of the planet, as this process, which depends on water, ensures the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and the earth's interior over millions of years.
